OSMOTIC FRAGILITY - RBCS

LAB1134

 

Collect

Green (sodium or lithium heparin) or Lavender (EDTA).

Specimen Preparation

Transport 2 unfixed, air-dried, and unstained smears to accompany the collected blood (smears should be made from the blood submitted) (Min: 2 smears). AND 5 mL whole blood (Min: 1 mL). Specimens should be refrigerated within 30 minutes after collection..

Unacceptable Conditions

Grossly hemolyzed specimens.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Synonyms

  • LAB1134
  • OSMO FRAG

Additional Technical Information

  • Time Sensitive

Ordering Recommendations

Functional testing of red blood cell sensitivity to osmotic stress; do not use to distinguish between spherocytes in hereditary spherocytosis and acquired autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Reference Interval

Within normal curve limits. A graph will accompany laboratory report.

Interpretive Data

For patients with acute hemolysis, a normal red cell osmotic fragility test result cannot exclude an osmotic fragility abnormality since the osmotically labile cells may be hemolyzed and not present. Recommend testing during a state of prolonged homeostasis with stable hematocrit.

Collect

24-hour urine. Refrigerate during collection.

Patient Preparation

Patient should avoid ingestion of vitamin C prior to collection.

Specimen Preparation

Thoroughly mix entire collection (24-hour) in one container.  Preserve the specimen as described below.
Freeze specimens immediately after aliquoting. Do not exceed 4 mL in 10 mg Sulfamic Acid tubes.  Contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787 to order 10 mg Sulfamic Acid tubes used for aliquoting and preservation of the specimen.
Preserved: Transfer 4 mL aliquot to an ARUP Transport Tube with 20 mg Sulfamic Acid (ARUP supply #48098). Available online through eSupply using ARUP Connector.  Mix well. (Min: 1.5 mL) 
Unpreserved: If the collection tube with Sulfamic Acid is not available, transport a 4 mL unadjusted aliquot of urine. (Min: 1.5 mL)

Storage/Transport Temperature

CRITICAL FROZEN. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered

Stability (from collection to initiation)

After collection complete: Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: 1 month

Remarks

Record total volume and collection time interval on transport tube and test request form. This information is required for test interpretation.

Notes

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) quickly degrades to oxalate in non-acidified urine. Patients should discontinue use of vitamin C supplements at least 48 hours prior to the start of urine collection and abstain until collection is complete.

Preservation with Sulfamic Acid before transporting is highly recommended.
